In starting a non-profit, Garrett Beach and the team at Johnson Hobbs Squires LLP brilliantly made the process easy and efficient! Especially in today's highly digital service, everything was handled conveniently with quality! Working with legal documents, these details matter and it was more than comforting to know I was working with brilliant experts AND excellent quality assurance! Garrett was excellent - patient with all my questions and confident to work with! I had a great experience!

Garrett Beach was extremely helpful in advising us what all was needed for us as parents to feel comfortable that everything would be completely taken care of for our son and daughter in law. He patiently answered all of our questions and made very helpful suggestions when needed. He even suggested a document, we knew nothing about, that was definitely needed because we own our own home. Our documents came organized in a beautiful binder for safe keeping. Our overall experience was simply great!

Although I initially dreaded updating my estate plan, Garrett Beach & Mark Hobbs made the process understandable & smooth. They responded promptly to my situation & questions. I found it a pleasure to meet with them in their offices located in a beautiful historic building in downtown Waco. I highly recommend Johnson Hobbs Squires LLP.

I needed an assistance with an estate issue that involved a property in Texas and I live in California. A friend of mine referred to me Johnson Hobbs Squires LLP and I am so thankful they did. The service that I received was professional, quick. and courteous...from start to finish.
A special thanks to Garrett B. who kept me updated every step of the way. If I ever needed a law firm in Texas again my one and only call would be to Johnson Hobbs Squires LLP. I have told all of my family and friends in Texas about their service. They are truly a top notch firm!
